Abstract:

In the component-based software, as its name indicates, the overall system performance is a reflection of the performance of its components. The correct analysis of reliability, which is known as a critical factor in component-based software engineering process, is one of the necessary tasks in such a system. However, most of the previous studies do not provide a practical and complete approach on this issue of this field. So, the aim of this work is to introduce a new systematic approach for software reliability analysis. The system architecture is used by this approach for time-dependent reliability evaluation.
